Here are Statusbar Icons for UIQ3 phones that I’ve collected from the Internet. Just click on each image bellow to download and put extracted content to D:\Resource and then restart the phone. That’s all!

Don’t worry if you can’t find folder “Resource” on your memory card, just make a new folder with the name “Resource”.

As you know, Symbian UIQ3 does not allow us to access its system folders which will inform "Protected folder" when we try to open them. But UIQ3 is now hacked! We can access or do anything with those system folders, just using a small program but it's really great. That is CapsSwitch, the must have app/program if you want to access your UIQ3 phone system. A big thanks to the SWmail - a modder/hacker for UIQ3 community.

Installation:
- Download archive with the program here
- Install CapsSwitch. No need to sign.

Using this program is very easy, everytime you want to access system folders on your phone, just run CapsSwitch and then tap Switch to make the capabilities OFF. This means CapsSwitch will turn the protection off so you can read/write the file system normally.

This program was introduced in a previous post (you can read it here) now it has just been updated to version 0.94 beta with new changelog:

• Displaying allocation in the text
• Languages of the Preferences dialog: Polish, Finnish, Bulgarian
• Changed the formatting elements in the Preferences dialog
• Further improvement of stability

After reading the article “Exclude your own visits in Google Analytics for WordPress blogs” on JohnTP.com,
I think that is very useful trick to exclude your own visits in Google Analytics when you access your WordPress blogs, using the code bellow to do that:

<?php if (!$user_ID) { ?> your Google Analytics code here <?php } ?>

But the code is not pretty well for blogs with enabled user registration because using $user_ID variable will exclude all visitors who has already been a member. You know that we are going to exclude tracking for only the administrator whose username is "admin" and level is 10 so that we need to have a better condition to detect which type of currently logged in user. I have an improvement for the code here, place it to your footer.php :

1
2
3
4

<?php global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo();
if ($current_user->user_level != 10 && $current_user->user_login != 'admin') { ?>
your Google Analytics code here
<?php } ?>

This code is currently working well on my blog. I hope it will help you to exclude your own visits in Google Analytics exactly!

PS: Note that you can use any web statistics code you like (statcounter for example), not just for Google Analytics.

Similar to Lightbox 2, WP-Lytebox is a WordPress plugin which uses Lytebox to add a lightbox functionality to images as well as HTML content such as web pages. This plugin will automatically group all the images links in your post content into a gallery with next and previous links. Just download and install it, you are done!

Installation:

1. Download plugin here.
2. Upload extracted content to the /wp-content/plugins/ folder, and activate it.
3. That all!

Note that Lytebox can also be configured via "lytebox.js" if you wish.

Auto-hyperlink URLs - written by Scott Reilly - is a plugin that can transform text URLs in your post content and comment text to the URL they reference. You don't need to hyperlink already hyperlinked URLs. The plugin also improves upon WordPress’s default make_clickable function, along with adding some configuration options (such as link truncation).

This plugin will recognize any protocol-specified URI (http|https|ftp|news)://, etc, as well as e-mail addresses. It also adds the new ability to recognize Class B domain references (i.e. “somesite.net” where not just those prepended with “www.”) as valid links (i.e. “wordpress.org” would now get auto-hyperlinked).
